Another hunting season is here and seems to be passing fast. We are happy to report that the coyote numbers seem to be bouncing back a little from the severe mange problems we have been having here in South Dakota. The early season hunts were very productive and we have once again captured some amazing footage. In an effort to put some different terrain on film, we have ventured to Wyoming and Montana in the last couple years. Hunts from these locations should be on our next feature DVD which we are beginning to edit. If you have seen our videos in the past, you know how picky we are when it comes to providing our viewers with footage to make you feel like you are along on the hunt.
One drawback that we have run into this year that is new for us is the amount of snow South Dakota has experienced. Since early December, it seems that it snows every week. We also haven't had the normal thawing cycles between storms so for the first time since we moved to South Dakota we have been "snowed out" of our hunting areas. So, even though the calling should be excellent, we are getting cabin fever waiting for some warmer temps to allow us access to our hunting areas. Hopefully as spring approaches the weather will cooperate and we can get out to our prime calling areas.
When we have been able to get out, we continue to have amazing results with the Weatherby rifles topped by Leupold scopes. We also will be debut some new products in the very near future, so that is another reason we are so excited to get back into the field. As always, the Hornady bullets are performing superbly. This fall we had a South Dakota weekend with 14 coyotes and didn't require a second shot on a single coyote. On ranges from 30 to 300 yards, that really says something for the quality of the Vmax bullets we have been using.
We will also be adding some new products to the website which we have been using this year. One of which deserves special mention. We are thrilled to bring the Gear Keeper products to the varmint hunting world. We are using these products on our Leupold range finders, on our calls and have used them on our radios as well. Anything that you might leave on stand can use one of these convenient and versatile products. Watch for them on our products page. Also, we continue to receive and answer hundreds of questions on our Q and A page, so make sure you check that out as well.
We have also been out doing seminars in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and will soon be in Iowa as well. We thank everyone for stopping by and sharing their stories of coyote hunting with us at these seminars. We hope to have a seminar video available very shortly for those who are unable to attend our talks in person. We thank everyone for all of their support and for supporting our videos. We will continue to work hard to provide exciting, quality coyote hunting videos which are enjoyable, educational and make you feel like you are beside us in the most scenic country anywhere, as we "take you along on the hunt".
Sincerely
The Coyote Doctors

I really enjoy your videos and from the little things I've learned by watching I went from 10 coyotes a year to around 20 with my best year being 24 pelts. My part of Western Montana doesn't have the greatest population of coyotes and would someday like to hunt in the Dakotas. Keep the videos coming.
